# PhishDestroy threat dossier — coinbase.com-contact.support ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-30 02:28:35 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/coinbase.com-contact.support/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: cryptocurrency Targeted brand: Coinbase ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 10/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, Emsisoft, Fortinet, G-Data, Netcraft, Seclookup, SOCRadar, Sophos Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists Google Safe Browsing: FLAGGED Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 82.29.199.212 (US, Boston) ASN: ASAS47583 Hostinger International Limited Hosting org: AS47583 Hostinger International Limited Registrar: HOSTINGER operations, UAB Nameservers: , ns2.dns-parking.com, ns1.dns-parking.com Registered: 2026-02-21 Expires: 2026-10-15 Page title: Coinbase Customer Support - 24/7 Help Center ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-01-20 19:15:33 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-05-30 05:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-02 00:00:39 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019bdc47-b36d-72e9-9c17-0f1c4f4c3e56/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/coinbase.com-contact.support crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.coinbase.com-contact.support Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=coinbase.com-contact.support AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/coinbase.com-contact.support URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/coinbase.com-contact.support/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 02:03:45 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies coinbase.com-contact.support as a high-risk phishing domain impersonating the legitimate Coinbase brand. This deceptive site poses a serious danger by mimicking Coinbase’s customer support to trick users into divulging sensitive information such as login credentials or financial data. The phishing tactic used by coinbase.com-contact.support involves presenting a fake 24/7 help center page that appears genuine at first glance. Victims may be lured by urgent messages or support requests, leading them to submit personal details that attackers can exploit. The domain was registered recently and flagged for social engineering, confirming its fraudulent intent. If you have visited coinbase.com-contact.support, immediately cease any communication and avoid entering any information. Change your Coinbase account password and enable two-factor authentication to secure your account. Additionally, monitor your accounts for suspicious activity and report any concerns to official Coinbase support channels. Staying cautious helps prevent falling victim to brand impersonation scams like this. ## SCORING METHODOLOGY ---------------------------------------------------------------- Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates: - VirusTotal positive ratio - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus, CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB) - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor) - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.) - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording) - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures) - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...) - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal) - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record) - Human researcher sign-off (volunteer takedown team) A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite score and the individual indicators above, not just VT. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/coinbase.com-contact.support/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=coinbase.com-contact.support Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
